Chapter 58 The Mad Mermaid, the Mad Shen Jue Holding...
There were two treasure chests. The first merman who died didn't drop any treasure chests, which doesn't rule out the possibility that she didn't kill her herself.
The game system states that only NPCs killed by the player have a chance to drop treasure chests.
So her hypothesis was only half successful, which means that her approach was correct, but the details were not perfectly controlled.
It was precisely because of this small detail that the final result was completely different.
To arrive at her hypothesis, she needs to obtain at least three identical or more results.
If it doesn't work this time, then let's try again.
She had to seize the opportunity while the merman was still around.
Qingfeng was already used to Shenjue's behavior. It snorted and then went to catch the merfolk without complaint. For it, it would only take a short while.
The same situation occurred again, and this time Shen Jue changed his strategy, severely injuring both merfolk to prevent them from killing each other.
Let things unfold as they will, and see if intervening before the merfolk are on their last breath will yield a different result.
Shen Jue carefully calculated the time.
She could sense that the merman before her was on the verge of death. At that moment, the dying merman stared at Shen Jue with a mixture of resentment and fear.
The clan chief's decision was correct.
This human...this human is a monster!
At first, they were acting on orders, believing these humans to be extremely fragile.
The merfolk thoroughly enjoyed hunting down these people, despite the panic they caused on the first day.
The fear that humans feel before they die is their most delicious food.
This emotion caused the merfolk to have a heightened appetite.
They had never enjoyed anything so good before.
Merfolk love the fear humans have in their eyes, and consequently believe themselves to be gods who control human life and death.
But at some point, these humans developed strange and unpredictable abilities, rendering the tsunamis and storms summoned by the merfolk largely ineffective against them. An unknown force bound the merfolk, suppressing their power.
Now, these tiny insects are riding roughshod over us, shouting and demanding to fight them.
What a joke! They are the darlings of the sea, valiant warriors.
How could I be killed by mere humans?
Now, this once proud sea warrior shed tears of regret. He was too young and suffered from inexperience.
He didn't know if devils existed in the world, but if they did, they must be this human being.
At this moment, he hoped that what the clan chief said was true—that only by facing death could one gain eternal life and immense power. Otherwise, wouldn't all his suffering have been in vain?
The merman remembered the devil's face deeply, wanting to etch her features into his soul so that he could return to take revenge when their chieftain was reincarnated.
The last thing the merman saw was Shen Jue raising his knife.
Shen Jue waited and waited, but the result she wanted never came.
The merman, in his near-death state, did not exhibit any unusual behavior.
They look no different from the merfolk before.
Could it be that she was wrong? What happened before was just an accident and is not a reliable reference.
But she clearly saw two treasure chests.
Where exactly did things go wrong? There must be some factor she didn't consider.
The answer is right there, yet we can't find it.
Only after two of the merfolk breathed their last did Chen Jue regain his senses.
Because the merman's death was not caused by Shen Jue.
After the merfolk died, they turned into bubbles and disappeared before Shen Jue's eyes.
This was the first time Shen Jue had ever seen anything like this, and she was quite confused.
While Shen Jue was not looking, the bubbles, which had turned into foam, seeped into the raft. The scent of the bubbles attracted the merfolk around the raft, causing them to ignore the raft's defenses and rush to climb onto Shen Jue's raft.
The mermaids turning into bubbles seemed to have opened Pandora's box, driving the remaining mermaids into a frenzy as they desperately climbed onto Chen Jue's raft.
Shen Tuo naturally noticed this unusual movement, and seeing the reckless and frenzied merfolk, a chill ran down his spine. It was truly terrifying!
If someone had a weak mental fortitude, they might have gone crazy on the spot. Although Shen Jue could handle it, she was still quite flustered.
Panic is understandable, but one must not lose one's senses.
When problems arise, they must be addressed. The sudden uprising of these merfolk is very likely related to the one who turned into foam.
Otherwise, it's impossible to explain why a mermaid who was normal before would suddenly go crazy!
In the midst of the chaos, Shen Jue's scattered thoughts seemed to have come to a realization.
Damn it! And she even knows about animal books.
How could she forget this? Merfolk are also highly intelligent beings; they have their own language and are not the unintelligent beings that humans believe them to be.
The two merfolk who faced death together carried with them a sense of dedication and pity in their final moments.
These two mermaids who turned into bubbles might just be lowly soldiers who came to gather information.
They somehow managed to ignore the raft's defenses.
Now, she's the one in danger. How will she get out of this predicament?
Seeing the merman climbing up despite his clumsiness, the merman went mad!
Shen Jue could clearly sense the intense killing intent these merfolk had towards her.
Since that's the case, "Qingfeng!"
Without Shen Jue saying anything more, Qing Feng circled the raft, intending to clear out the merfolk outside who hadn't squeezed into the inner circle.
When you encounter crazy merfolk, you have to be even crazier to keep them in check.
So, the crazed Shen Jue, wielding two swords, slashed at the merman who tried to approach, one strike after another.
The blade pierced the bone and was then pulled out, causing the wounded merman to bleed blue blood.
Shen Jue glanced at them and continued attacking the other merfolk. This time, before the merfolk who climbed up could even attack Shen Jue, Huan Ye slashed into their left shoulder.
However, the merman used himself as bait, gripping the blade tightly with both hands, preventing Shen Jue from leaving.
Shen Jue kicked him in the chest, not only pulling out the knife but also kicking the merman who had finally climbed up back into the sea.
A new round of killings has begun!
Blue blood splattered onto the raft, but Shen Jue remained clean, not letting the mermaid's blood stain her in the slightest.
These crazed merfolk are anomalies. If their blood has something special about it and gets contaminated by them, it would be terrible.
For every merman who sinks to the bottom of the sea, a new treasure chest will appear on Shen Jue's raft.
